Could you post a part number for your magnet please.

McMaster-Carr Part Number: 7061T11

The magnet was spaced approximately .0625" away from the pole and was more than strong enough to hold our 2.3lb minibot on the pole, though I'd suggest decreasing the spacing to approximately .04" to make the attachment to the pole a little stronger, our minibot liked to fall off on it's way down - sure was fast though.
